While maltreated children are at risk for recurrent maltreatment, less is known about the maltreatment recurrence of American Indian children in foster and adoptive homes.
This study examined the recurrent maltreatment of American Indian children in foster and adoptive homes, specifically the physical, emotional, sexual, and spiritual abuse subtypes, as well as poly-victimization of American Indian children in comparison to their White peers.
Data originated from the Experiences of Adopted and Fostered Individuals Project. The sample (n = 230) consisted of 99 American Indian and 131 White participants who experienced foster care and/or adoption during childhood.
Chi-square analyses and a t-test were used to test differences in maltreatment recurrence. Ordinary least squares regression analysis was used to examine the factors that contributed to poly-victimization.
Both American Indian and White participants reported high rates of emotional abuse. American Indian participants were particularly vulnerable to maltreatment recurrence in the forms of physical, sexual, and spiritual abuse, as well as poly-victimization in their foster and adoptive homes.
Our findings reflect high rates of maltreatment recurrence in foster care and adoption, which may be the result of retrospective self-report, rather than measures of rereport or substantiated recurrence.
虽然受虐待儿童有再次遭受虐待的风险，但对于寄养和收养家庭中的美国印第安儿童的虐待复发情况了解较少。
本研究调查了寄养和收养家庭中美国印第安儿童的虐待复发情况，特别是身体、情感、性和精神虐待亚型，以及与白人同龄人相比美国印第安儿童的多重受害情况。
数据来自收养和寄养个体经历项目。样本（n = 230）包括99名美国印第安人和131名白人参与者，他们在童年时期经历过寄养照料和/或收养。
使用卡方分析和t检验来检验虐待复发的差异。使用普通最小二乘法回归分析来研究导致多重受害情况的因素。
美国印第安人和白人参与者都报告了较高的情感虐待率。美国印第安参与者在寄养和收养家庭中特别容易再次遭受身体、性和精神虐待以及多重受害情况。
我们的研究结果反映出寄养照料和收养中虐待复发率较高，这可能是回顾性自我报告的结果，而非再次报告或经证实的复发情况的衡量标准。
